01Who we are
We are a two person studio doing product design and development, on web and mobile. The pair who take your call are the same pair who run the research, draw the screens and write the code. Nothing gets thrown over a wall, and you never have to explain your product twice.
02The problem
So the first fortnight is not design work. It is sorting the pile: what you know, what you are guessing, and what nobody has thought to ask yet.
03Why it usually breaks
One agency runs discovery. Another draws the designs. Your engineers get a folder of files and guess at the intent, and six months later somebody bolts on analytics. Every pass loses something. There is nobody to hand off to here, so the two of us carry a project from the first question to the last deploy, shipping every two weeks so you can see it working.
04What you can hire
Most projects run the whole way through. You can also hire us for a single stage, and we will say plainly if that is the wrong shape for the problem.
We start as the voice of your user rather than your stakeholders. Interviews, audits and testing turn opinion into evidence, so every decision that follows has something to stand on.
Where most of the work happens. Brand, flows, screens and the system that holds them together, drawn to be built rather than admired.
Designs become a product that actually runs. The person who drew it is the person who builds it, so what ships is what was designed rather than an approximation of it.
05How it runs
Before anything gets drawn we take the brief apart. Which decision is this meant to make easier, and who loses if it never exists? The answer reframes most projects on day one.
We write the problem down in one paragraph and agree it in the room. Scope, success metrics and the things we are deliberately not doing all get signed off here, in plain language.
Low fidelity first, and fast. Three directions go in front of real users, two get killed, and the survivor goes through to a full design system with every state accounted for.
Two week sprints, deployed to a live environment from the first one. You review working software instead of slides, and you can change direction at the end of any sprint.
We check the result against the problem we wrote down in week two. If it does not do what we said it would, we fix that before we leave. Then we hand over the keys, documented, and get out of your way.
06Proof
07Where we work
We are most useful where the domain is genuinely hard and the consequences of getting it wrong are real.
08The next step
There are two of us, so we take on one or two projects at a time. The next slot opens in Q3. Send the question early, even if the budget is still a rumour.
Send us the question, not a spec. Within two working days we will tell you whether we are the right studio for it, and who to talk to if we are not.
